The Willows Mission Statement

At The Willows, we believe each child brings our community an
extraordinary gift: a curious mind, ready to explore and eager to
learn. Our mission is to grow that gift by challenging our
students to uncover meaning and significance in the world around
them and to become capable, confident individuals who demonstrate
character, engagement, and a joyful passion for creative inquiry
across a lifetime.

Our Philosophy

The Willows is committed to a balanced yet demanding progressive
curriculum rooted in experiential learning and social values. We
teach and model a zest for learning and the courage to take
risks. We challenge children to challenge themselves and set
high standards for academic excellence, which they pursue with
energy and joy. We nurture a sense of compassion and community that
begins at home, reinforcing what it means to be a respectful,
involved citizen-of-the-world. We believe that great minds grow in
a near-infinite variety of ways. In the spirit of the willow tree
itself, our “great minds” are flexible, resilient, and
beautiful at every stage of development.

What is really important in choosing a private school? Ranks? Academics? Financial aid? Sports programs? Arts programs? One of these criteria doesn't matter. The others do.
